Like, yeah, that's the overt point but the real lesson should be that there is a flaw in the current system which is radicalizing people against the truth. To fix this problem, there should be a review of the media landscape to explicitly state the issue with steps for resolving the disassociation from reality that is so prevalent in their info sources.

I don't disagree, but I don't see how we'll get there. That would require people in charge choosing decency over profit. And not just a few of them, but a bunch of them.
